Grilled Tempeh Tacos

I had a friend over on Sunday and we decided to cook and watch a film. We ended up with Vanilla Sky. It would have been cool to have a Vanilla theme, but we didn't. We played a little with Vegan Planet's "Soy Meets Grill" recipe and ended up with Tempeh Tacos with Tomatillo Salsa.

Tempeh:
Boil in enough water to cover tempeh for about 10 minutes.
Coat with spices and grill about 10 minutes.

Spices:
1 tsp ground allspice
1 tsp sweet paprika
1 tsp brown sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cayenne or other red pepper

Grill for about 10 minutes. Also grill a mildly spicy pepper to add to the salsa.

Tomatillo Salsa
3 small tomatillos, broiled in the oven for about 10 minutes until they begin to pop.
3 small red tomatos
1 grilled mild/spicy pepper
cilantro
juice from lime

Cut the tempeh into strips and fold into a tortilla (corn or flour). Top with salsa and enjoy!

We also steamed some beets to have as a side dish! Delicious!
